Hey guys! Back with a new chapter. Thank you KitKatLove96 for your support. Oh, and if anybody's a good beta-reader out there, I'd really appreciate if you helped me. Anyway, onwards!
"No matter what, I am Ciel Phantomhive, head of the house of Phantomhive."
Henry had spent some time flipping through the new story, but found only these words. They kept bothering him. He could only gather so much from these words. He already new the boy's name, but then there was the term house of Phantomhive. What did that mean?
This boy was an enigma that Henry had to decode.
To unravel this mystery, it seemed common sense to start at the source. So Henry got up to talk to the boy.
Ciel was put in Henry's room for the moment, while everybody decided what to do with him. He sat on the bed furiously racking his brain on what had caused him to be here, in an unfamiliar place, with the only thing that he could remember was his name.
Judging by all of their reactions, he thought, I'm definitely not from here. But then, where am I from?
Interrupting his train of thought, Henry walked in.
"Hey."
"Hello." When Ciel spoke back, Henry noticed the boy's accent. He made a mental note of that in his head.
"What do you need?" Ciel said.
"I'm here to ask you some stuff."
Before Henry could start, Ciel interrupted him. "Before you say anything, you should know that I have no memory of anything regarding my life."
Henry frowned at the interruption. "But you know your name."
"It seems that it is the only thing I can remember."
"Oh. Alright."
Silence. "That must suck, not being able to remember your life."
Ciel seemed to think this over, then he said, "I feel that sometimes, it might be a mercy."
The demon had a sudden feeling, and he knew what it meant immediately.
Oh dear, I wonder what Bocchan has gotten himself into now.
He smiled, then said out loud.
"I hope he hasn't done anything rash after the rejection."
He sighed. "Now, I shall bring him home."
Then, he disappeared.
Sorry for the quickie chapter, but I really have such big ideas to follow in this fix, and I'm doing it in chunks. (I will try to make the next chapter longer).
See you next time!
